What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

U.S. Military Weapons Inscribed With Secret 'Jesus' Bible Codes:

U.S. military rules specifically prohibit the proselytizing of any religion in Iraq or Afghanistan and were drawn up in order to prevent criticism that the U.S. was embarked on a religious "Crusade" in its war against al Qaeda and Iraqi insurgents.

One of the citations on the gun sights, 2COR4:6, is an apparent reference to Second Corinthians 4:6 of the New Testament, which reads: "For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ."

I'm not even sure Jesus would be cool with that.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

The use of "actionable" to me "able to be acted on" has become depressingly common. It makes me want to sue someone.

Which is ironic, because in a legal context "actionable" means able to be sued for.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I don't know the cause/effect order, but have non bandom bands historically been as social networking happy?

It seems like a lot of the sense of personal connection comes out of that relationship. And, of course this might just be my perception, it seems like MCR, FOB, AFP, etc. were some of the early adopters of MySpace (and have eagerly adopted each new permutation). I'm pretty sure, actually, that the contracts of Decaydance bands specify that they'll be paying less of X because they will be (and are expected to be) doing so much free promotion/networking themselves.

Now Dirty Colbert I would be forced to read...

(Though about the persona Stephen, not the actual one who shops at the same grocery store as one of my Aunts.)

Others are "bandom-adjacent" for having toured with one of those three, Others are "bandom-adjacent" for having toured with one of those three,

Billy Idol toured with My Chemical Romance on one Warped! tour . . . and I was there . . .

Yes, I still tell tales of my time in the mosh pit, and people still look at me in awe. I know dull people (not all of them).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Mini Cupcake Maker, in that it makes mini cupcakes, but it's also mini itself.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

One of my cousins is in a band that's sort of on the edges of bandom. Note to all: if you ever have the idle thought, "I wonder if there's fic about my cousin," DO NOT GOOGLE. Oh, dear.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I find the gym so deeply boring.

I've started doing sudoku on my phone when I'm on the bike. So far it makes the time pass more quickly.

I figured that Ginger was making a funny.
